I noticed strange behavior on PCs deploying with djoin.
To deploy a PC with this mode in the xml:
The deployment is going well
The problem comes next:
At this precise moment it is impossible, domain is grayed out
It seems that renaming the machine doesn't work well.
after looking in detail
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ComputerName*ActiveComputerName
*
does not update on computer name change. Even after reboot
I would like to point out that the machine has no software installed, no DIY.
I feel like it's a bug
I would like to point out that if it is "djoin.exe /requestodj /loadfile" which is used after deployment there is no problem. The problem only occurs if the djoin was done in xml during the initial deployment.

I'm having the same issue on my side, it's a real problem as we rename sometimes computers' name and the impact is important.
The problem has only gotten worse. Since Windows 11 24H2 djoin does not work correctly with OfflineIdentification. Once the machine is deployed it does not have the right name but a random name...
Doesn't anyone at Microsoft care about this problem?
OfflineIdentification is just no longer usable. ...
